Sabbath Keepers in Cornville

From Sister Hight.

BRO. WHITE: As the result of Bro. Cornell's labors in Cornville, Me., more than a year ago, there are twenty Sabbath-keepers; and there are others who have decided that the seventh-day is the Sabbath of the Lord, and we expect they soon will commence keeping it. We meet with opposition, but it serves to strengthen us in our position and faith. Some said that in six months' time we would not keep any day; but we love the Sabbath more and more. Not one who embraced it, has turned back. I can truly say, I am glad Bro. Cornell ever came to our place to proclaim to us the third angel's message, and that a few have received the truth in honest hearts; and we hope others may. Other brethren have visited us, all of whom we esteem very highly in love, for their work's sake; and we have some very dear brethren in our midst, who labor for our good, and who love the commandments of the Lord. May their reward be great in Heaven.
I hail the weekly visits of the Review with much pleasure, and sister White's Spiritual Gifts, I love to read much, they breathe a spirit of deep piety and devotedness.
Brethren and sisters be encouraged. We soon shall get the victory. Jesus is coming in a little while, to give life and immortality to the faithful ones. I am daily trying to overcome, and be with the remnant when they "come to Zion, with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads." Oh, blessed hope! beautiful home! A few meet now from Sabbath to Sabbath, to celebratethe rest-day of the Maker of heaven and earth; but then all flesh shall come up every Sabbath, to worship before the King, and every month, eat of the fruit of the tree of life. Let these blessed truths encourage us to bear with patience, the cares and conflicts of life, till we are made overcomers and sit down in the kingdom of God.
Yours looking for Jesus soon to come. ROSE C. HIGHT.
Cornville, Me.
